Not exactly. You mean you can't find the FrostedGlass plugin? You can download it from the following post:

Yes this plugin does lockout my screen but I want use just the Show Fade effect. My intention is to make the background image blur and then after delay sharper and so on..

Remove each meter and measure, except [BlurBehind]. Because Rainmeter skin needs at least one meter, add a very simple one, like this:

I tried but then every becomes blured even the programms and floders..
and using this is nothing happing:
Code: Select all
[MeterDummy]
Meter=String
[BlurBehind]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FrostedGlass
UpdateDivider=-1
;Default=1 Determines if the blur is enabled or not
BlurEnabled=1
My intention is to make the background image blur and after delay to make it sharper again.

You could try loading a separate skin specifically to blur out the background and set it to Position: On desktop. Then have another skin show or hide the blur.

I think it is possible even without having to use a second skin. Here is a code:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=-1
OnRefreshAction=[!Delay "3000"][!SetOption BlurBehind BlurEnabled "0"][!UpdateMeasure "BlurBehind"]
[Variables]
[BlurBehind]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FrostedGlass
UpdateDivider=-1
BlurEnabled=1
[MeterBlurredBackground]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
W=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#
H=#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#
Initially the blur is enabled, due to the
BlurEnabled=1 option of the [BlurBehind] measure. This is disabled by the !SetOption bang of the OnRefreshAction option of the [Rainmeter] section. But this is happening delayed (by the !Delay bang of the same option). You can set up how long the blur effect is visible editing the value under the !Delay bang (it is measured in milliseconds - 3000 means three seconds).

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for late reply.
I already found a solution I have bought the Steam Wallpaper engine. on this it's easily making blur and more effects.
